New York shuts down Signature Bank as US regulators cite a “systemic risk exception” like for SVB, announcing all of Signature's depositors will be “made whole”

U.S. regulators said Sunday it shut down New York-based Signature Bank, a second financial institution …

    I'm learning about #SignatureBank, another specialized bank closed by regulators this weekend.  As explained here, it was a major lender to the crypto industry so it was especially vulnerable to depositors' loss of confidence. https://www.cnbc.com/... #SVB #Banking #Banks

    The closures of Silvergate, SVB, and Signature create a huge gap in the market for crypto-friendly banking. There are many banks that can seize this opportunity without taking on the same risks as these three. The question is if banking regulators will try to stand in the way.
  • @twobitidiot @twobitidiot on x
    Crypto's banking rails have been effectively shuttered in less than a week. Next up, USDC. The message from DC is clear: crypto is not welcome here.
  • @melt_dem Meltem Demirors on x
    and just like that, crypto in america has been unbanked Silvergate. Silicon Valley Bank. Signature. in one week https://twitter.com/...

    It's been a wild week. Silvergate. SVB. Now Signature. We had no exposure to SVB (or any of the previous blow-ups) We managed Silvergate situation Signature IS our primary USD bank for customer transactions. So this Sunday news did have some short-term implications👇
  • @thestalwart Joe Weisenthal on x
    Signature Bank and Silvergate gone. Incredible the number of lives and institutions ruined, lured by the crypto siren song.
  • @okcoin @okcoin on x
    1/ @okcoin has been closely monitoring the situation with @NYDFS & Signature Bank. The most important thing is that all customer funds are safe! 💪 Here's what's going on. ⤵️

    Former Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) endorsed changes to his own Dodd-Frank law in 2018 that freed mid-sized banks from undergoing stress tests. He sits on Signature Bank's board, which just collapsed. I reached him via phone tonight and he declined to comment https://www.washingtonpo…

    We are establishing a bridge bank to protect all depositors of Signature Bank, New York, and to preserve the value of the institution's assets and operations to sell at a later date. Read more ➡️ https://www.fdic.gov/... https://twitter.com/...

    And Signature Bank, which had a business model of taking uninsured deposits from crypto bros, also got a bailout. Barney Frank is a board member, Ivanka Trump is a former board member. Wheee!!! https://www.wsj.com/...
  • @ericwallerstein Eric Wallerstein on x
    90% of Signature Bank's deposits were uninsured https://twitter.com/...
  • @danprimack Dan Primack on x
    3/ Fed, FDIC and Treasury also applied exception to Signature Bank, which apparently got shut down. Suggests depositors at other institutions could be covered, even though not explicitly said. There is still a chance of contagion, although it's now greatly diminished.

    Dear Crypto people (if you're still left): Welcome to having rules and process. Immediate liquidation is a bug, not a feature. - Everyone

    Third US bank goes down: ❌Silvergate Bank ❌Silicon Valley Bank ❌Signature Bank https://www.cnbc.com/...
  • @thestalwart Joe Weisenthal on x
    “Shareholders and certain unsecured debtholders will not be protected. Senior management has also been removed.” https://www.federalreserve.gov/ ...
  • @leehower Lee Hower on x
    Sobering thought. The 2nd largest bank failure (SVB) and 3rd largest bank failure (Signature) in US history have occurred in the last 72 hrs.
  • @tbr90 Tyler Reynolds on x
    It's awfully convenient that the 3 banks shut down in the last few days were the cornerstone of fiat ramps for crypto Most concerning is they shut down Signature and a few hours later chose to bail out all depositors
  • @arjunsethi Arjun Sethi on x
    @POTUS @SecYellen You used the cover of chaos and darkness to go after other crypto-friendly banks. 👏 And helped to continue stifling innovation that should be here in the United States and now will flow offshore even faster.

    Alternative theory and note to self: Never ever ever start a bank whose name starts with “Si” https://twitter.com/...
  • @kadhim @kadhim on x
    Looks like cost of bailing out SVB/Signature's uninsured depositors will be met by a levy on other banks https://www.federalreserve.gov/ ... https://twitter.com/...
  • @tracyalloway Tracy Alloway on x
    Two things Silicon Valley, Signature and Silvergate all had in common other than the first two letters of their names: - Concentrated exposure to tech/crypto - Rapid growth in deposits As @John_Hempton said in an Odd Lots, there's nothing more dangerous than a fast-growing bank
  • @twobitidiot Ryan Selkis on x
    The Regime has picked their scapegoat and sent out talking points to its comms teams. Don't believe their lies. This is failed interest rate policy and regulatory oversight, nothing to do with crypto. The only true “crypto bank” was assassinated last week with full reserves. http…
  • @lyu_johnny @lyu_johnny on x
    It's unfortunate to witness another crypto-friendly bank shut down, but we're relieved that depositors at #SVB and #Signature are safeguarded. It's important to note that #SignatureBank has no impact on KuCoin. We'd like to reassure our community that their funds remain secure.
  • @mayazi Maya Parody on x
    It's not that these banks had a concentrated exposure to tech/crypto clients, as much as both industries had a surge in deposits/investments during ZIRP & the banks' just weren't on the radar of regulators. It was on the Fed to check which FI were effected by falling bond prices …
  • @timccopeland Cope on x
    lessons i'm learning from crypto - don't store money in banks - don't store money in defi protocols - don't store money in crypto for that matter - it doesn't matter, you don't have any crypto left
  • @johnreedstark John Reed Stark on x
    Given Signature/Silvergate failures, any bank doing any sort of crypto-related work poses a systemic threat and faces a 24-7 regulatory colonoscopy. If there is no way to cash-in casino chips after gambling, people will stop going to casinos. Bye crypto. https://news.yahoo.com/..…
  • @amacker Andrew Ackerman on x
    So if you're a bank that did a good job managing interest-rate risk, at the very least you're going to have to pay higher DIF premiums to cover banks that were run irresponsibly, right? https://www.wsj.com/...

    Two of the banks that were friendliest to the crypto sector and the biggest bank for tech startups all failed in less than a week. https://www.cnbc.com/...

    “This should be enough to stop the depositor panic,” said William Dudley, who served as president of the New York Fed from 2009 to 2018. “What it tells you is that risks to the financial system are not just tied to the big money-center banks.” https://www.wsj.com/...
